Jivamukti Vinyasa & Sound Bath
A guided Jivamukti vinyasa yoga class that seamlessly transitions into a live-music meditative and healing sound bath.
Expect a well-rounded flowing practice designed to make you move and sweat as well as encourage curiosity and spiritual activation that flows gently into a long-form sound bath using sound healing instruments including antique singing bowls from the Himalayas imbued with healing mantras. The frequency of the bowls create vibrational sound harmonics that impact the sympathetic nervous system by engaging the relaxation reflex, (and disrupting the pain reflex) creating an overall deep sense of well being, meditation and relaxation.

Arm Balance Workshop
with Nancy Nomellini from MOTHER Yoga Seattle
Arm Balances can build strength, confidence and help us to develop balance in difficult situations.
They also bring us fully into the present moment and develop a deeper sense of focus through taking on unique shapes that we don't usually encounter in our everyday lives.
Learn poses like crow, side crow, koundinyasana A/ B , how to hop back into a chaturanga and so much more ! All of these poses will be broken down into steps so that your understanding of "how to" achieve these poses becomes less intimidating and more possible.
Explore the whole FAMILY of arm balances living within you!
